# Soccer: Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has left Leicester nearly ten weeks after they were relegated from the Premier League. Leicester said in a statement they had mutually agreed with the Dutchman that his contract would be terminated with immediate effect. The 48-year old Van Nistelrooy joined the struggling Foxes in late November after a brief spell as Manchester United’s caretaker boss. But he was unable to stop their slide and they returned to the second-tier Championship after just one season back in the top division.
